Global networks are creatingextremely important new challenges Credit: MONET Group at UIUC Science Issues We cannot currently understand or predict the behavior of complex,large-scale networks Innovation Issues Substantial barriers toat-scale experimentation with new architectures, services, and technologies Society Issues We increasingly rely on the Internet but are unsure we can trust its security, privacy or resilience
GENI Conceptual DesignInfrastructure to support at-scale experimentation Sensor Network Federated International Infrastructure Edge Site Mobile Wireless Network GENI-enabled at-scaleinfrastructure Virtualized Deeply programmable Programmable & federated, with end-to-end virtualized “slices” GENI-enabled at-scaleinfrastructure Heterogeneous, and evolving over time via spiral development
GENI • Project to Build • Infrastructure to support greenfield network science • NOT Research in itself • The Test Track, not the car
GENI Summary Funded by NSF BBN Technologies serves as the GENI Project Office (GPO) 2 Solicitations so far Solicitation #1 had 29 funded projects Solicitation #2 had 33 funded projects
GENI Control Frameworks GPO grouped projects into control framework clusters each cluster is anchored by a project to develop a control plane for the facility 5 clusters initially: PlanetLab TIED ProtoGENI ORCA/BEN ORBIT
GENI Early Focus: “Slicing” In GENI, a slice means a set of virtualized resources connected together to provide a single virtual testbed for a scientist “slicing” across parts of a control framework cluster is main thrust now future will mean inter-cluster slicing & federation with other facilities & networks
Spiral DevelopmentGENI grows through a well-structured, adaptive process • An achievable Spiral 1Rev 1 control frameworks, federation of multiple substrates (clusters, wireless, regional / national optical net with early GENI ‘routers’, some existing testbeds),Rev 1 user interface and instrumentation. • Envisioned ultimate goalExample: Planning Group’s desired GENI suite, probably trimmed some ways and expanded others. Incorporates large-scale distributed computing resources, high-speed backbone nodes, nationwide optical networks, wireless & sensor nets, etc. • Spiral Development ProcessRe-evaluate goals and technologies yearly by a systematic process, decide what to prototype and build next. Planning Design Use Use Integration Build out GENI Prototyping Plan

GENI’s emerginginternational collaborations K-GENI FIRE JGN2plus + Akari NICTA The GENI Project Office is interested in federation withpeer efforts outside the US, based on equality and arisingfrom direct, “researcher to researcher” collaborations.
